I’m just gonna pull from the Wikipedia summary, which I think speaks for itself:

The group finds that it has not been transported to another world, but instead is in the distant future of their own world. A decadent but technologically advanced black culture keeps either uneducated or castrated white people as slaves. Sexual slavery and cannibalism are widespread and generally accepted. Adolescent girls are sexually exploited as “bedwarmers” by their owners. Other children are bred on ranches for consumption and slaughtered during puberty (when their flesh is considered particularly tasty) or sometimes earlier.

    Hey Robert what you working on?

    Oh a book where black people enslave white people!

    To demonstrate the inhumanity of chattel slavery and racism to a racist audience right?

      Heinlein considered himself a conservative and was quite annoyed with how much the hippies liked stranger in a strange land.

      Still my favorite author, we get closer to some of his prophecies every day.
